I had to go through a Karat interview, even though this was not a SWE role. They still made their candidates go through this process.

On my first interview, I asked if I could use a library to parse a URL. When I finished the problem, the interviewer told me I couldn't use the library and had to reimplement the solution – very unprofessional and poor communication. I ran out of time to solve the second problem.

I scheduled a second attempt with Karat, but Roblox sent me a rejection email, even though I was told I would get two chances. I was told it was a mistake, so I did my second attempt at Karat and answered both questions correctly.

After two weeks, I had no communication from Roblox. After emailing the recruiter, I was told I didn't make it to the next round.

Even if you pass the interview and answer the questions correctly, they don't objectively consider your performance. The company is very arrogant in how they treat candidates and doesn't respect their time. They still use generic weeding-out processes until they find a candidate since they have an influx of applications. The company is big now, and hires can get a generous share package.
